Youth Group
March 4 - May 27
Northview Community Church
Middle & High School Grades 6th-12th
Sunday Morning
Middle School & High School @ 10:45am
We believe the Kingdom of God is being shown when different generations are worshiping God together, and we want our Youth to be a part of that. Youth (6th-12th) are welcome and encouraged to join us for worship during our 10:45am service in the main auditorium. There is a designated “Youth section” where Youth can sit with their leaders and friends, or students can remain with their families.
After announcements, our Youth are released to join us upstairs in the Youth Room to talk about what following Jesus looks like as middle schoolers and high schoolers. For more information on current teaching series, look in the Upcoming Events section below.
Midweek Small Groups
Tuesdays Year-round @ 6:30 – 8:30pm
Tuesday nights are a place for both Middle and High Schoolers to engage with their peers while also forming relationships with leaders who are committed to following Jesus and mentoring our Youth.
Every night looks a little different, with games and breaking off into smaller groups. These small groups are designed for more personal and relational growth for Youth with their same grade and gender. On the first Tuesday of every month, we host a meal or an event that allows all grades in our community to enjoy time together.

What to Expect at Northview Youth
The Heartbeat
Because of Jesus, the heartbeat of Northview Youth is discipleship. We aim to partner with parents in this endeavor by bringing alongside leaders who embody Jesus’ ways, His teachings, and His vision for the Kingdom in their own lives and want to share that with our Youth. We have found that Youth don’t need more people teaching them the “right ideas”. Instead, they need people who care for them enough to come beside them, bare their burdens with them, and show them Jesus’ ways in action.
We view Sundays and Tuesday night small groups as merely a launch pad that brings about opportunity for further mentorship, discussions, and transformation. Our hope is that our Youth will be shown Jesus by both our teachings and our lives, and in turn choose to follow Him.
To hear more about the heartbeat behind Northview Youth, check out this video of our Youth Director, Zeb, speaking to the congregation about the forgotten Kingdom of God.
Parent Communication
There are three ways for parents, guardians and students to stay up-to-date with calendar updates, event reminders and youth announcements:
- Youth Ministry Page: Our website is our primary form of communication. Detailed information about Midweek Small Groups, events and Sunday morning series can be found on this page (especially under the ‘Events’ section below)!
- Youth Newsletter (email): Each week our ministry sends out an e-news that gives recipients a quick glance at the month ahead! It always includes links to more information for each event and calendar date. Sign up here!

First Time Students
We love welcoming first time students into our Youth community, whether it’s on a Sunday morning, Tuesday evening or for an event! The primary goal of Tuesday nights are relational building, whereas Sundays are teaching oriented. 6th – 12th graders can join our Sunday and Tuesday gatherings at any time during the year. Details and registrations for events can be found below under the ‘Upcoming Events’ section.
